Subjects commonly described as “Homeless” may be represented as being of exclusive social competence. This may be partly true in the large part of this population, while in a small proportion, on the order of 3-5%, these are subjects who present a clear clinical picture of non-collaboration where psychological pain is presented according to the code of extreme concreteness. The diagnosis and attunement register become particularly specific to this kind of suffering. Homelessness can be regarded as a refined dissociative mode, of creative order, of survival of dissociatively suspended States of the Self as a result, above all, of traumatic experiences. Through the presentation of a clinical case of a severely regressed and not-cooperative patient, we try to underline the post-traumatic di-mension of the homeless condition. The homelessness solution is structured through a concrete register that organizes the settings and the possible recovery paths of the dissociative process.
Keywords: homelessness, not-cooperative patient, concrete register, concreteness.
